! Read the instructions before using the controller.
! Avoid heat build-up: Provide unobstructed air circulation round the
controller.
! Do not connect the flight battery with reversed polarity:
Connecting the battery leads with reversed polarity will instantly
wreck the controller.
For this reason:
• red wire to the POSITIVE (+) terminal
• black wire to NEGATIVE (-) terminal
! When soldering or working on the motor or controller:
Always disconnect the battery (short-circuit / injury hazard).
! When testing and running the power system:
Do not run the motor while holding it in your hand, always secure the
model firmly. Check that there is adequate space for the propeller to
rotate. Remove all objects (clothing, small items, paper, etc.) from the
area of the propeller which could be sucked in or blown away. Never
stand in the rotational plane of the propeller (injury hazard).

HARACTERISTICS
•
BEC with low-voltage cut-off (up to max. 8 cells).
•
Power-on guard: The controller stays in the disarmed state when
you connect the flight battery. The motor cannot be switched on until
you first move the throttle stick briefly to the idle position.
•
Overload-/overheat-protection: In case of overheating and over-
loading, the controller switches off the motor. To activate the motor
again, the battery must be disconnected from the controller and
connected again.
•
Over-cell-protection: The controller will switch off at 16V.

IRING THE
! Note
Soldering is usually required in order to complete the wiring of the
controller. Soldering requires some care, as the quality of the joints is
crucial to the reliability of the power system:
• Use electronic-grade solder for all soldered joints.
• Do not use an acid-based solder flux.
• Parts to be soldered must be hot enough (the solder must flow), but
must not be overheated (damage to components).
• If you are unsure, ask a modeller with experience in soldering to
help you.
1. Motor suppression: If the motor you wish to use is not suppressed
as standard, we strongly recommend the use of the suppressor set
# 8 5020, to avoid potential problems with interference to the
receiving system.
2. Check the direction of motor rotation: If the direction of rotation is
not correct (e.g. when using a geared motor), correct this by
swapping over the leads at the motor terminals (re-solder the joints).

SING THE
ONTROLLER FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Connect the servo lead attached to the controller (BEC) to the
receiver socket corresponding to the throttle channel. For
example, with MPX RC-systems this is channel 4 = throttle / motor.
2. If your radio control system is programmable, set servo travel for
throttle / motor to 100% on both sides.
3. Move the throttle stick (and the associated trim slider) fully to the
desired idle / motor STOP position.
4. Switch on the transmitter.
5. Connect the flight battery to the speed controller.
Caution: reverse polarity will wreck the controller instantly!
If the LED flashs, the controller is in power-on guard mode
Disconnect the flight battery from the controller
throttle channel at the transmitter (servo reverse)
flight battery again
Ready.
Important!
•
Always switch transmitter ON first, then connect the flight
battery.
If you now see the LED flashing, the controller is in power-on guard
mode
Move the throttle stick to idle
use!
•
First disconnect the flight battery from the controller, then
switch the transmitter OFF.

BEC = B
ATTERY
BEC means: the controller supplies electrical current to the receiver and
servos from the flight battey. For this reason: Do not use a separate
receiver battery.
! Note
Please remember that the BEC system of the MULTIcont M-32 can
only supply its maximum 1,5 A current briefly. In practice this means:
With 8 NiXX-cells connect not more than 4 micro servos or 3
standard servos to the receiver! If your model is fitted with more
servos than the controller can cope with, the BEC power supply must
be disabled and a separate receiver battery used. This is done by
locating the red (+) wire in the receiver lead attached to the controller,
and cutting it through.

OW BATTERY CUT
The low battery cut-off of the MULTIcont M-32 is designed to switch off
the motor when the flight battery is almost discharged. This ensures that
there is still sufficient energy in the pack to power the BEC system for a
safe landing. When the battery is nearly flat, you will also notice the
motor's power output (propeller speed) declining rapidly. This is the time
to start preparing for the landing approach. The power system can be
switched on again for a brief period if required by moving the throttle stick
momentarily to the idle / motor STOP position.

CE A
PPROVAL
Evaluation of the equipment is occured after the following
european harmonised guidelines:
EN 55014-1 + A1:2001 + A2:2002
EN 55014-2:1997 + A1:2001
EN 60950-1:2006
So you have a product that satisfies the objectives of the EC for a secure
operation in consideration of construction.

NFORMATION
Electrical equipment marked with the crossed-out refuse bin
must not be discarded in the household waste; it must be taken
to a suitable collection point for proper disposal.
In the countries of the EU (European Union) it is illegal to
dispose of electrical devices via the household waste system
(WEEE – Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment,
directive 2002/96/EC). You can take your unwanted equipment
to your local public collection point (e.g. recycling centre), which will
dispose of it in the correct manner at no cost to you.
By recycling your unwanted equipment you can make an important
contribution to the protection of the environment!
